WSN & Robotics

Last year I stayed in UC Berkeley for a short-term study for four months, and the topic I focused on was the security issue on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, I used to major in Robotics which is a little bit different from WSNs. The common point between them is that there are lots of sensors inside the hardware. Therefore, some crazy idea comes into my mind and brings me a good start. Since I had studied on WSNs over a past half year, I start to think about how to combine the WSN with robotics. The ideas are as followed:
  1. Location for the robot (such like wheel-robot) via WSNs
  2. Robot network by applying WSNs
  3. Applying both Robotics and WSNs on health care system
  4. Fire alarm and rescue system by utilizing Robotics and WSNs
  5. Secure issue between Robotics and WSNs

I believe that the topics stated above maybe have done by someone else, but there must be some point needed to be improved. It is a good time to start to survey the paper to check if there is anyone interesting about these researches right away. Let the game begins!!!
